Pep Guardiola dismissed the significance of Manchester City's early advantage over Liverpool in the Premier League.
City are at the top of the table with two wins (and two clean sheets) from their opening two fixtures and are four points ahead of Liverpool, the team expected to be their biggest challengers. Jurgen Klopp's runners-up have failed to beat Fulham and Crystal Palace in their opening games to open up a gap to the defending champions.
With just one point separating the two teams over 38 games last season, some are seeing four after two games as significant between rivals who so often have had such tight contests. Guardiola, however, was not interested in talking up City's prospects having seen the highs and lows that all teams go through during nine months.
